The last tri of the season has come and gone which means its time for the maintenance program to start. I will have two and a half months to stretch out my run, bike and swim fitness before I will kick it into high gear for St. George.
Tonight I took a break from homework to enjoy a nice cool evening jog around Bittersweet Park and the neighboring street. I ran for 55 minutes and kept my heart rate at 165 bpm. It was a little higher rate than my training called for, but the pace felt great and I didn't like I was working hard at all so I let it go.
The next few months will probably be more difficult than the months directly preceding St. George. As daylight fades away earlier and earlier every day I need to keep my motivation up. The work I put in now will establish the base for future training. If I am going to turn in an impressive time I need to start with a sturdy base.
